monoccular

Viney couldn’t argue against that HTB as his head had been pulled off

Seems a nice sort of guy but just what would his rôle be and where would he fit in the hierarchy? If he can strike up and maintain a good working relationship with Badloss, then it could be a great move: but if Badloss spits the dummy and / or does not accept help from him then next year could be worse than this (if that is possibly).

Have we dragged the others down?

Much as I hate to say it, Drugsters being screwed by maggots. How was that a 50 to Moore when he actively tried not to take the returned ball? Clearly we need to either get bigger louder crowds, or buy an amplifier to shout “baaaallllllll” whenever we lay a tackle even if it is disposed.

Add pick 2 and amazing trading and we will have a whole fistful of new messiahs. ?

A long overdue blast. Big question though is will the remaining players take heed, take pride, and take collective and individual responsibility? Each and every one.

So it would be just so Melbournian to debut him as the sole savior ruckman then ?

Sounds like we are preparing full of enthusiasm for the approaching finals ?

If that were to be the outcome, we should be very happy. The guy has not had one AFL preseason so I will not pass any judgement on Kyle tight now.

Forget the nipple, cards. Jugular sounds far quicker and less painful.

What a great move that would be, either on field or off field. Could he take CP5 aside and show him how to kick too?

And whilst with Bon Jovi, our midfield and forward “lack of connection”

Re the coaching scene

“Lyon speaks really well.” Are you serious. I would rank him on the dreadfully boring scale right alongside Bernie Fraser and Alan Fells .... no doubt know a bit of their own stuff but dreary and uninspiring as they come.

TGR. THE GREAT ROSS ??

Brilliant. Sure they can have a break but they definitely have nothing to celebrate

I don’t recall Badloss (previously known as Goodwin in 2018) having any particular relationship with MFC prior to his appointment. So Nev I am not quite sure what you are alluding to.

Great summation of where the club stands right now SWYL. Confidence shot like the rest of the team. Doesn’t have a target most of the time.

Surprised that olisik isn’t calling for him to be traded or delisted already. He is having a [censored] end to the season - who hasn’t?

Question: can one find something that is not there? If it has been lost there is some hope of finding it, but if it isn’t actually not there then there is no hope.

There is .... a fast moving express train ... headed right for us ?

“Fail to plan; plan to fail”. Another game lost at the selection table Was this the master coach’s shrewd plan when Max needed a well earned rest - play CP5 in the ruck?? And Preuss, whilst not a great player by any means, would have made mince meat of the Swans’ rucks, AND have given us a solitary tall forward option to at least hold their taller defenders accountable - but even though he won 1001 hit outs at VFL last week, .....?!

I find Leonard Cohen's final album, released just a week or so before he died, You Want it Darker, more suits my mood.

I didn't rejoin after the weak pathetic loss to the drug addled Essendon 3rds, until this year when I thought that they had regained some pride and passion. I agree with you demonique - certainly will not join again unless and until I see some pride and some passion. I actually find it stressful to my heart to watch this sort of garbage.

Anyone who actually had the mental toughness to watch the whole game - 1. How did Chandler go? I see he lead the field in tackles (9 on debut, equal with Viney and 7 more than the other co-captain). 2. Did Max get any ruck relief at all? 3. What went wrong with Bailey Fritsch - looked ok at the start? Injured?
